I think equally if not more to blame are the gruesome crime and medical shows that seem to be the only things on network television for the past twenty years. A steady stream of the most depraved and violent criminal human behavior with the crime shows, and with the medical shows the most horrific one-in-a-million accidents. And continuously ratcheting up because each episode has to be more inventive than the last.
